Governor Seyi Makinde Sends Commissioners List To Assembly

Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has transmitted the list of
commissioners to the House of Assembly.
Chief Press Secretary Taiwo Adisa confirmed to The Nation
that the list was submitted in a sealed envelope yesterday,
adding that it is expected to be opened and read at the
House of Assembly today.
The Nation gathered that some break-away members of the
All Progressives Congress (APC) made the list.
They include Dr. Wasiu Olatunbosun and Seun Asamu, who
is the son of Senator Monsurat Sunmonu.
A former state lawmaker, Adeniyi Farinto and the Director
General (DG) Seyi Makinde Campaign Organisation, Chief
Bayo Lawal and Prof. D. K. Shangodoyin, who coordinated
Omituntun campaign in the Diaspora, also made the list.

A top member of the party told The Nation that the list is a
mixture of technocrats and politicians, who the governor
believes will key into his vision for the state.
The list has been delayed largely by Makinde’s desire to
accommodate the 14 federal constituencies in the state as
well as substitution done by members of the coalition with
the governor’s Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The break-away APC members grouped under the Unity
Forum and moved to the African Democratic Congress
(ADC).
The party was in coalition with the PDP, the Social
Democratic Party (SDP) and Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) in
the governorship election.
The governorship candidates of the parties stood down for
Makinde to enable him defeat APC.
